Until now, live-event search engine SeatGeek has focused on secondary ticketing services: it crawls secondary sites to find tickets available for sports matches, music gigs and other live events. Now the company has moved into primary ticketing through a deal with Ticketfly, which will now be promoted with an ‘Official Box Office’ on SeatGeek’s search results page if it has primary tickets available for an event.
